52
Score
Across the available record, Face Tea has 10 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The most recent visit was on Mar 10, 2026. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around six violations to closer to eight violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food identified” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
That's lower than the typical Orange City restaurant, which scores around 76. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
